Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, links to organised crime, and inadequate harm minimisation at Star Entertainment's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cashless gambling limits, binding pre-commitment systems for loss and time limits, a new supervision levy on casinos, five-yearly reviews of casino operations, and requirements to exclude people banned from interstate casinos.
Ministerial and Other Office Holder Staff and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill gives the Director-General of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the Clerk of the Parliament formal legal authority to conduct criminal history checks on people working in ministerial offices, electorate offices, and the Parliamentary Service. It formalises interim arrangements that were already in place since December 2017, bringing these checks in line with the powers that already exist for Queensland public service employees.
